A photo of famed outlaw Billy the Kid was purchased for $10.
Experts said that the photo—bought at a flea market—shows the outlaw standing near a lawman who would eventually shoot him.
“I said, ‘Oh my gosh, he looks like Pat Garrett,’” Abrams said after he started researching the image.
“It’s incredible. … Five trips across the country, forensic experts, professors have looked at it, others have looked at it. … It’s … I’m ecstatic. I feel like one of the luckiest people in the world. To find this is a privilege,” Abrams said.
He said that the picture includes another outlaw, Dirty Dave Rudabaugh, who was captured alongside Billy the Kid.
“People ask me all the time, what do you think it’s worth, what do you think it’s worth. I won’t put a price on it, quite frankly it’s priceless,” Abrams said.
But the photo could be worth millions, based on a prior sale of a Billy the Kid photo.
